Abstract (en)

An apparatus and method wherein the apparatus comprises: a diaphragm wherein the diaphragm is configured into a corrugated arrangement comprising a plurality of folds; a plurality of bias electrodes where the bias electrodes are provided between folds of the diaphragm; and an input configured to provide at least one control signal to the diaphragm to cause movement of the diaphragm to generate an acoustic signal; wherein the diaphragm is configured such that bending stiffness of the diaphragm provides a restoring force to the diaphragm which causes the diaphragm to return to a neutral position when no control signal is applied.
